The Milwaukee Community Sailing Center offers introductory sailing classes for
adults,
youth,
and children.
For more experienced sailors, our courses include
intermediate
and advanced
classes introducing different types of boats and equipment such as spinnakers.

The Milwaukee Community Sailing Center owns and maintains over 60 boats and members have
no-charge access to the fleet after they successfully demonstrate basic sailing skills and earn a
rating. The Sailing Center also offers private boat owners boat and dinghy storage, mast stepping,
launching and haul-out services.

The Milwaukee Community Sailing Center collaborates with area nonprofit social service
agencies (Boys and Girls Club, Neighborhood House, YMCA, Milwaukee County Executive Office for
Persons with Disabilities, etc.) to provide inner city and other disadvantaged at-risk children and
youth with the opportunity to use the lessons of sailing to impact their futures. Using sailing as a
tool, these students develop basic living skills such as decision-making, teamwork, critical
thinking and on-the-spot-problem-solving in a natural setting, to sail help build self-esteem and
self-confidence. Students also learn about water safety; how wind and weather affects sailing skills
and, of course, also develop a sincere appreciation for Lake Michigan.

With its beautiful lakefront setting, the Milwaukee Community Sailing Center offers
the perfect venue for your next event. Whether you're looking to host your next corporate event, or
are looking for an unforgettable setting for your wedding, we offer a spacious upstairs venue with
beautiful views on three sides, as well as outdoor space for open air or tented events.
